'Labour have treated this city with contempt at a national level and Aberdeen is the forgotten city in terms of Challenge Funding and Millennium Funding. The Labour administration locally have been unable to get anything significant out of the Scottish Office and they have not delivered for Aberdeen. As a result the people of Aberdeen have delivered them a very bloody nose.' Brian Adam MSP, 7 th May 1999.
